Have You Ever Heard About the History of the Stapler?!

Today, the stapler seems like an ordinary object on our desks, but the first such device appeared in France as early as the 18th century.

At that time, this remarkable invention was specially made for King Louis XV of France and was used only at the royal court. For this reason, King Louis XV is often regarded as the first owner of a device designed to fasten sheets of paper together.

By the 19th century, as paper production and document circulation increased, the stapler was no longer a tool reserved for royalty and became one of the most useful devices in offices and institutions.

George McGill received an official patent for a device designed to fasten paper. Later, staplers began to be widely used by large companies in the United States.

At that time, it was considered that a single stapler could be sufficient for an office with around 500 employees.

Simple and convenient models produced by “Boston Wire Stitcher Co” helped make staplers even more popular around the world.

Today, staplers come in many different sizes, from small desktop models to large and powerful versions capable of fastening up to 250 pages at once.
